Summer is barely over and the ski season will be upon us soon. The Telluride Ski Resort offers 2009-2010 season pass pricing, keeping rates the same as last season. A new twist this year is when you buy four adult season passes together, called the 4Pass, during the annual Pass Sale, then the price drops to 2007 rates.

The Telluride Pass Sale runs to Oct. 30, 2009, with passes available online.

Offered at $1,198, the adult pass at pass sale prices offers a savings of 35 percent off the regular season pass price of $1,850. The 4Pass offers a savings of nearly 50 percent. During the sale, Junior passes are $175, for ages 13 to 18, and the kids' rate is $125, for ages six to 12, a savings of 70 percent. Senior passes for people 65 and older are $499. With proof of 12 credit hours at an accredited college, College Passes are $299 at the Pass Sale price, compared to the $725 regular price. Children five and under pay a $25 processing fee for a season pass for the convenience of bypassing the ticket line each day. All season passes offer unrestricted skiing and riding. As an added benefit, purchasers of college, adult and senior passes will also receive a f.ree subscription to Ski Magazine.

If a season’s pass is too much time and too expensive, you can take advantage of a six-day and 10-day pass, the Telluride Card and Limitless Lesson Pass, also offered during the Summer Sale.

The six-day pass is $345 and the 10-day pass is $495.

In the upcoming ski season, Telluride opens Gold Hill Chutes 2 to 5. This terrain comes on the heels of Gold Hill Chutes 6-10 opening in 2007-08, and Chute 1 opening in 2008-09. Chutes 2 to 5 offer wide-open, above treeline couloirs and chutes dropping 1,600 vertical feet. The resort added two WWII area howitzers last season to facilitate control of this terrain, which will open as conditions allow.

The facility includes an outdoor swimming pool with a children's play area and a whirlpool. Dining options include a food court with ice cream, pizza, and sandwiches. Nearby attractions include Walt Disney World , Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and Discovery Cove.

The 30 mm sterling circle pendent is nearly 1 1/4 inch wide with a pave finish to make it look like small diamonds line the circle. The back of the pendent is clad in yellow 18K yellow gold overlay while the front remains silver. The necklace is finished off with an 18-inch sterling silver box-like chain clad in the same 18K yellow gold overlay. Comes in a black faux-leather gift box.

Priced at $75. Our price $24.95.

More than one billion travelers stay at U.S. hotels every year. While most enjoy pleasant vacations and business trips, some fall victim to theft, burglary and assault, crimes that several hotel security veterans say may rise during a recession as hotels cut employee hours and possibly security staff.

Jack Feingold, a vice president with ADT Security Services, urges travelers to pay careful attention to safety and security and avoid becoming a victim of criminals or injured in an emergency.

"When traveling, people tend to be more attractive to thieves looking for easy targets and hotel security is usually the last thing on travelers' minds as they check in to a hotel. But security and safety should be a concern for anyone staying in a hotel," Feingold said.

To reduce your risk of crime or injury during a hotel stay, follow these safety tips:

Avoid rooms with ground- or second-level windows. When possible, choose a room between the third and sixth floors. Rooms are high enough to discourage access from the street, yet are within reach of most fire-department ladders.

Always close and lock your door. Make it a habit to use all locks, including the deadbolt and chain. If you stay in a room that faces pools or beach areas, make sure your sliding doors and windows have sturdy locks.

Do not open your door to anyone who knocks unexpectedly. If someone unexpectedly knocks claiming to be a hotel staff member, call the front desk to confirm his or her status before opening the door. Teach children to never open the door without your permission.

Park in well-lighted areas and as close to the hotel as possible. Many hotel thefts take place in parking lots and structures, so a well-lighted area to park your car is essential. Women traveling alone should ask for an escort to their cars at night. If possible, use valet parking services. Valet service allows you to leave and pickup your car at the main entry, while providing an added layer of security for your vehicle.

Note the hotel's emergency evacuation plan. As soon as you enter your room, take time to look at the hotel's emergency escape plan and make a mental note of the nearest emergency exit and how to get there.

Choose a hotel with security cameras. Video surveillance cameras can provide an added layer of security to help prevent theft and discourage criminals. Hotel cameras should be in stairwells, pathways, exercise rooms, parking lots and any other public areas. Cameras not only help hotel staff track the safety of visitors, they are also helpful in identifying criminals if a crime does occur.

Feingold said, "The most important thing to keep in mind when on vacation is safety, for you and your family. Taking a few minutes to think about hotel security is not only crucial to a fun, relaxing vacation; it is one of the best safety choices travelers can make."
